blojsom 2.25 available
« "And if I stay lucky then my tongue will stay tied" | Main | Grappa »
Changelog.
Upgrading instructions. Download updates.
Download Quickstart. Bugs fixed.
The initial thrust of this release was the new look and feel for the
administration console.
The previous look and feel sucked! The new look and feel is consistent across
browsers, more eye pleasing, and more extensible.
There are a number of plugins in this release to combat comment and trackback
spam. If there are other methods outside of IP filtering (with whitelist and blacklist support as well as ranges), link spam detection,
and spam phrase detection (with regular expression support) you think would be useful, let me know. The plugins
available now are a start and they'll evolve for sure.
I also introduced two new service "integration" plugins.
* The Technorati tags plugin allows you to add Technorati tags to your post
that
link to other Technorati-tracked posts from around the web matching those tags.
The plugin is extensible so that you can change the way the tags are output in
the blog entry.
* The del.icio.us daily posting plugin finally allowed me to make use of my
delicious-java library, .
Eating your own dog food isn't just fun, it's del.icio.us. If you read my blog
then you've noticed my del.icio.us daily links postings. I'm using the daily
posting plugin to make this happen. The plugin is extensible so that you can
change the way the blog entry is formatted.
If you want your weblog to get "noticed", you'll want to "ping" one of the
weblog update notification services. I've been using Ping-O-Matic exclusively
for quite awhile now. It sends an update "ping" to over 14 services. In the
blojsom 2.25 Quickstart bundle, the default weblog notification service setting
is now set to Ping-O-Matic. If you would like to use Ping-O-Matic, set your
update notification services setting to http://rpc.pingomatic.com.
I'll be sending out an e-mail to the blojsom-users mailing list later on today to get the missing
translations for the other supported languages. Right now blojsom supports translatations of the administration interface in
English, German, French, Korean, Brazilian Portuguese, and Swedish. I'd like to
grow the number of supported translations. If you're at all interested in translating the administration interface, please
let me know. It's simple and straightforward. So, the deal is ... agree to do the translation and I'll send you a blojsom
t-shirt. I've got a whole bunch of new t-shirts in various sizes and they're not doing me any good sitting in a box.
Enjoy!
